I locked myself out last week so called Sheila's wheels about my situation. They told me that if I claimed under my insurance all costs for a locksmith etc. would be due a £100 excess. Fair enough because that's what it says on my policy.
What they did NOT tell me was that as I had home emergency cover then the excess fees would not have applied. I did not realise at the time and by the time I did it was too late because I had already paid for my own locksmith to gain entry and fit a new lock.
I am very annoyed that they did not help me out because I did not specifically request a locksmith under the home emergency part of my policy even though I had clearly told them about my situation. I find this deceitful and dishonest but have had to swallow my loss.
Avoid using these people.
